Tirsdag, havearbejde & WordleTuesday, gardening & Wordle

Så fik jeg endelig plantet dome-squashene ud i den store, vilde have. Jeg lugede også hele domen, og plantede chilier og auberginer derude. Lugningen i domen producerede store mængder dild, der blev lagt til tørre.

I finally got round to planting the dome squash in the big, wild garden. I also weeded the whole dome and planted chillies and aubergines out there. Weeding the dome produced large quantities of dill that were left to dry.

Potten med citronverbena havde en gæst, der også blev plantet ud i bedene. Kender I navnet på gæsten?
Jeg plantede også en en jernurt og to store artiskokker ud i bedet her. Nu må der ikke komme mere frost.

The pot of lemon verbena had a visitor who also came out into the garden. Does anybody know the name of the guest?
I also planted a normal verbena and two large artichokes into the same bed. Now we don't want any more frost.

Vi flyttede hønseburet og jeg fik lavet en lem i toppen til at smide ukrudt ned igennem. Herlig ting! Det er så meget nemmere bare lige at stikke en mælkebøtte ind til dem nu. Hønsene spiser endog ret store dræbersnegle, lad os håbe, det bliver ved.
Der var 5 æg igen i dag, og det er en fornøjelse at fodre hønsene med den nye lem.

We moved the chicken coop and I made a hatch in the top to throw weeds down through. What a great thing! It's so much easier to just throw them a dandelion now. The chickens are even eating quite large slugs, let's hope it continues.
We had five eggs again today and it's a pleasure to feed the chickens with the new hatch.


Jeg plukkede sødskærm, vild kørvel, hasselblade og et par kviste skønhedsøjer til plantefarvning. Det normale fed ser fint ud, men de lange er altså ikke ren uld.

I picked sweet cicely, cow parsley, hazel leaves and a few sprigs of tickseed for plant dyeing. Half of it looks great, but the suspicious hanks are so not all wool.

Surbærrene blomstrer.
The Aronias (Chokeberries)  are flowering.

Der er masser af rabarber.
We have lots of rhubarb.

Kvanen er stor og kraftig. I år kan man ikke tage fejl af den og en skvalderkål. Der er stadig lidt baldrian, den skal passes på.

The angelica is big and strong. This year, you can't mistake it for aground elder. There's still a little valerian, it needs watching.


Jeg så to lærker, der hang syngende under himlen og hørte en gøg.

I saw and heard two larks and only heard a cuckoo - I never saw one, but I hear them often every summer..

Today's Wordle was tough. Not because it was hard to find a word, but because it had too many possible solutions. It looks fun:
